Mrs. Tidwell,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know you cared deeply for your father. My prayers are with you and your family.

Mrs.Silas, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. May your memories bring you comfort during this time of need.

We will miss you so much. I will miss you calling me your Lisa Lou. You were the best Papa ever. I'm glad that my children had the opportunity to know you. Little Adam will miss picking okra in your garden.....he won't ever forget; he's got the okra scar on his arm forever! Landry is already asking where you are when we go to your house. I told her you are at Jesus' house. I know you will watch over her and see both of them grow. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. I love you.

Mrs. Silas, Cindy & Joel, I was saddened when I heard the news of Mr. Silas' passing. Know that my prayers are with all of you and take comfort in knowing that he is resting in Our Fathers loving arms.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THIS HARD TIME.

Mrs. Silas and family, I am so sorry about Mr. Silas passing. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Ocie E. Silas our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Ocie. And to Ocie it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars while serving first in the U.S. Army Air Corps and then in the U.S. Air Force. Ocie, we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,409 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Ocie’s family and loved ones.
